EnBW - Kontext-bezogene multimodale Mensch-Computer Interaktion

Brief Description

Project Duration: May 2021 – May 2023

The project is being conducted in cooperation with Energie Baden-Württemberg AG (EnBW). The research project aims to investigate the conception and design of innovative context-related multimodal human-computer interactions based on new technologies. The focus of the research project is on the use of a conversational user interface (CUI) with the integration of sentiment analysis (SA). This technology enables the recording and evaluation of moods and emotions using various input modalities (e.g., text or speech). In this way, a tendency towards a positive, neutral, or negative attitude can be recognized. A prototype application of this technology is being tested and empirically investigated in close cooperation with the respective departments at EnBW.

As part of the research project, the topic of e-mobility was integrated into the master's course Human-Centered Information Systems. In particular, the collaborative capstone project dealt with the question of how future processes at the company's e-mobility charging stations and the associated "Mobility +" mobile app can be improved. The students problematized and analyzed various scenarios, designed solutions, as well as instantiated and evaluated them as prototypes. The projects were coordinated in close cooperation with EnBW employees.
